Overview of Westaho Salt Chlorine Generator

The Westaho salt chlorine generator is engineered for both above-ground and in-ground pools, with capacities ranging from 15,000 to 40,000 gallons .

Key features include:

• Titanium salt cell for long lifespan and efficiency
• Intelligent monitoring system (salt level, temperature, voltage)
• Self-cleaning polarity reversal function
• Automatic chlorine generation for consistent sanitation

Unlike traditional chlorine systems, it continuously produces chlorine, keeping water clean, soft, and stable.

Installing your Westaho Salt Chlorine Generator is simple and can typically be completed in less than an hour. Follow these steps carefully to ensure safe operation and optimal performance.

Step 1: Choose the Installation Location

The salt chlorine generator must be installed after the pool pump and filter on the pool’s return line.

This placement ensures:

• Clean, filtered water flows through the salt cell
• Maximum chlorine generation efficiency
• Better protection for the titanium cell

📌 Important:
Never install the generator before the filter or pump. Unfiltered water and debris may damage the system and reduce performance.

Recommended Water Flow Order

Pool → Pump → Filter → Heater (optional) → Westaho Salt Chlorine Generator → Return to Pool

Step 2: Turn Off Power

Before beginning installation:

• Turn off the pool pump
• Disconnect all electrical power sources
• Release pressure from the plumbing system if necessary

⚠️ Safety is critical during installation. Working on pressurized plumbing or live electrical systems can cause injury or equipment damage.

Step 3: Cut the Return Pipe

Locate a straight section of the return pipe where the generator will be installed.

Using a PVC pipe cutter:

1. Measure the required distance using the included template
2. Mark the cutting points carefully
3. Cut out the pipe section cleanly

Ensure:

• Straight and even cuts
• Enough space for the generator body
• Proper alignment with the plumbing system

💡 Tip: Dry-fit all components before applying PVC glue.

Step 4: Install the Union Fittings

Attach the supplied union fittings to both ends of the cut pipe.

To install properly:

• Apply PVC primer (if required)
• Apply PVC cement evenly
• Connect the fittings securely
• Allow sufficient curing time according to the glue manufacturer’s instructions

Properly installed unions make future maintenance easier.

Step 5: Install the Integrated Salt Chlorine Generator Unit

The Westaho system features an integrated design, combining the titanium salt cell and control panel into a single compact unit for easier installation and operation.

To install:

1. Position the generator body between the union fittings
2. Ensure the water flow direction arrow matches the actual pool water flow
3. Hand-tighten the unions securely
4. Keep the control panel facing upward and easily accessible

⚠️ Do not overtighten the fittings.

The integrated system includes a built-in magnetic flow sensor that automatically detects water circulation and protects the unit from running without sufficient flow.

This smart protection feature helps extend the lifespan of the system and improves operational safety.

Step 6: Connect Power and Start the System

Once the generator is securely installed:

1. Plug the unit into a grounded GFCI-protected power outlet
2. Restore power to the pool pump system
3. Turn on the pool pump
4. Power on the Westaho generator

After startup:

• Check for leaks around the unions
• Confirm water is flowing properly through the unit
• Verify the display panel powers on correctly

📌 Important Safety Notes:

• Keep electrical connections dry at all times
• Do not operate the generator without water flow
• Follow all local electrical and pool equipment regulations

Once installation is complete, you can proceed with adding pool salt and configuring chlorine output settings.
